A body was recovered from a Fond du Lac County home on Friday evening.

Authorities said a relative called 911 because a man who may be suicidal was setting fires inside his house in the town of Rosendale.

When authorities arrived, they found the home fully engulfed in flames.

Officers smelled gasoline and saw wires protruding from the house, leading to concerns that the house could be booby-trapped or full of explosives. As a precaution, authorities temporarily evacuated people who live nearby.

The man's body was eventually pulled from inside the damaged house.

An investigation is underway to determine whether the man's death was a suicide.
